[0038] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following embodiments will be used for explanation.

[0039] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing composite uranium extraction materials, the method comprising the following steps:

[0040] Chitosan, tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide and ultrapure water were added to a reactor vessel, the preset stirring temperature was set, and the mixture was stirred for several minutes under an inert atmosphere.

[0041] An aqueous solution of 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine was added to the reactor vessel of this embodiment. The preset oil bath temperature was set, and the crosslinked product was obtained by polymerization reaction in an inert atmosphere for several hours.

[0042] After washing, the crosslinking product of this embodiment is placed at a preset cooling temperature and vacuum dried to obtain chitosan-phosphocholine copolymer (CS-MPC), which is the composite uranium extraction material of this embodiment.

[0043] In this embodiment, choline and chitosan are used as raw materials for uranium extraction, achieving highly selective adsorption of uranium. Because choline is used, this uranium extraction material exhibits highly selective adsorption of uranium, demonstrating excellent selective adsorption of uranium in systems containing multiple metal ions.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of chitosan and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide in this embodiment is 93%:7%, and the amount of ultrapure water used is 50 to 100 times the total mass of chitosan and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide; the preset stirring temperature in this embodiment is 60 to 98°C; and the stirring time in this embodiment is 30 to 90 minutes.

[0045] By setting the reaction conditions specified in this embodiment, the decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, which would otherwise affect the uranium enrichment material preparation effect, is avoided when the preset temperature is exceeded or excessive stirring is performed.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mass percentage components of chitosan and 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphonic choline in this example are as follows:

[0047] Chitosan 6.25%–25%;

[0048] 2-Methacryloxyethylphosphorylcholine 75%–93.75%.

[0049] In the preparation method of this embodiment, the uranium adsorption capacity of the uranium extraction material is improved by reasonably controlling the amount of choline added, while ensuring that the uranium extraction material has good structural stability. This achieves the effect of high stability and high uranium adsorption capacity of the uranium extraction material at the same time, avoiding the destruction of the structural stability of the uranium extraction material due to excessive use of choline.

[0050] In some embodiments, the preset oil bath temperature is 60–98°C; the stirring time is 600–1800 minutes.

[0051] In the preparation method of this embodiment, by setting the preset oil bath temperature and stirring time to specified values, it is avoided that the reaction may be incomplete or not occur due to too low a temperature or too little stirring time, and that too high a temperature or too long a reaction time may lead to an increase in by-products.

[0052] In some embodiments, the preset cooling temperature is 25°C to 60°C.

[0053] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a composite uranium extraction material, prepared according to the aforementioned preparation method. This composite uranium extraction material is a chitosan-phosphocholine copolymer (CS-MPC), and its structural formula is:

[0054]

[0055] The product obtained in this embodiment is a chitosan-phosphocholine copolymer. This composite uranium extraction material has the characteristics of cross-polymerization. In this embodiment, due to the use of chitosan and phosphocholine copolymerization, the two polymer molecules endow the uranium extraction material with good hydrophilicity and selective coordination with uranium, realizing the high selective adsorption of uranium by the uranium extraction material in an aqueous environment.

[0056] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing composite uranium extraction materials, the method comprising the following steps:

[0057] Chitosan, tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide and ultrapure water were added to a reactor vessel, the preset stirring temperature was set, and the mixture was stirred for several minutes under an inert atmosphere.

[0058] An aqueous solution of 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine was added to the reactor vessel of this embodiment. The preset oil bath temperature was set, and the crosslinked product was obtained by polymerization reaction in an inert atmosphere for several hours.

[0059] After washing, the crosslinking product of this embodiment is placed at a preset cooling temperature and vacuum dried to obtain the product chitosan-phosphocholine copolymer, which is the composite uranium extraction material of this embodiment.

[0060] Graphene oxide and the product chitosan-phosphocholine copolymer were respectively dispersed in acetic acid of a set volume fraction to prepare CS-MPC solution and graphene oxide solution.

[0061] The CS-MPC solution and the graphene oxide solution were mixed uniformly and stirred for several hours to obtain a mixed solution.

[0062] The mixed solution was frozen with liquid nitrogen and freeze-dried to obtain a graphene-chitosan-phosphocholine composite material (GCM), which is the uranium extraction material.

[0063] The raw material components of the graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material prepared in this embodiment are graphene oxide, chitosan, and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine. The preparation method first uses tert-butyl hydroperoxide-initiated surface graft polymerization to polymerize different masses of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and chitosan to obtain polymer CS-MPC. Then, CS-MPC and graphene oxide are uniformly mixed, and the mixed solution is directionally frozen with liquid nitrogen. After freeze-drying, the graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material GCM with photothermal conversion capability of this embodiment is obtained. The layered structure of the graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material of this embodiment can more effectively capture uranium ions, and it also has excellent photothermal conversion performance. Under visible light irradiation, it can effectively change the microenvironment near the adsorbent, significantly improving the adsorption performance of the adsorbent material. This method for preparing the graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material with photothermal conversion capability is simple, efficient, and easy to scale up for production. As a novel uranium ion adsorbent, it has good market prospects in seawater uranium extraction and uranium-containing wastewater treatment.

[0064] In this embodiment, by using choline and chitosan as raw materials for uranium extraction, highly selective adsorption of uranium by the uranium extraction material in an aqueous environment is achieved. Furthermore, the preparation method of this uranium extraction material in this embodiment, due to the addition of graphene oxide, endows the material with photothermal conversion properties. The presence of graphene oxide ensures the photothermal conversion performance of the composite uranium extraction material, while its self-assembled layered structure provides more adsorption sites, thereby significantly increasing the uranium adsorption capacity of the material. The preparation method of the graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material with photothermal conversion capability in this embodiment is simple and highly efficient.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of chitosan and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide in this embodiment is 93%:7%; the amount of ultrapure water used is 50 to 100 times the total mass of chitosan and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide; the preset stirring temperature in this embodiment is 60 to 98°C; and the stirring time in this embodiment is 30 to 90 minutes.

[0066] By setting the reaction conditions specified in this embodiment, the decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, which would otherwise affect the uranium enrichment material preparation effect, is avoided when the preset temperature is exceeded or excessive stirring is performed.

[0067] In some embodiments, the mass percentage components of chitosan-choline phosphate copolymer and graphene oxide in this embodiment are as follows:

[0068] Chitosan-choline copolymer 50%–90.9%;

[0069] Graphene oxide accounts for 9.1% to 50.0%.

[0070] In this embodiment, the amount of choline added is reasonably controlled to improve the uranium adsorption capacity of the uranium extraction material while ensuring good structural stability. This achieves both high stability and high uranium adsorption capacity, avoiding the structural instability caused by excessive choline. Furthermore, this embodiment also controls the amount of graphene oxide added to prevent excessive graphene oxide from reducing the uranium adsorption capacity of the uranium extraction material.

[0071] In some embodiments, the preset oil bath temperature is 25°C to 60°C; the stirring time is 10 to 90 minutes.

[0072] In the preparation method of this embodiment, by designing the preset oil bath temperature and stirring time to specified values, it is avoided that excessively low or high temperatures or excessively short stirring times may lead to insufficient self-assembly of the uranium-enriching material, thereby affecting the performance of the uranium-enriching material.

[0073] In some embodiments, the preset cooling temperature is -60 to -198°C.

[0074] This embodiment avoids the possibility that excessively high temperatures may prevent the uranium-enriching material from forming a lamellar structure, thereby affecting the performance of the uranium-enriching material.

[0075] Fourthly, this application provides a composite uranium extraction material, specifically a graphene-chitosan-phosphocholine composite material (GCM) prepared according to the aforementioned preparation method. A schematic morphology diagram of the GCM is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0076] The uranium extraction material prepared in this embodiment uses phosphocholine as a coordination unit, chitosan as a self-assembly linking unit, and graphene oxide as a photothermal unit, which gives it a high selective coordination ability for uranium, excellent hydrophilicity and micron-scale sheet structure, as well as photothermal conversion performance. This enables the uranium extraction material to adsorb uranium with high selectivity and high adsorption capacity in an aqueous environment.

[0077] The graphene oxide composite uranium extraction material of this embodiment, which has photothermal conversion capability, has efficient coordination performance and can more effectively capture uranium ions under visible light irradiation. It has the advantages of large adsorption capacity, good photothermal conversion performance and strong resistance to salt ions, and has broad market prospects.

[0078] In some embodiments, the uranium adsorption capacity under visible light irradiation is 350–1690 mg U / g, and the uranium adsorption capacity under no-light conditions is 260–820 mg U / g. The uranium extraction material prepared by this embodiment has good photothermal conversion performance.

[0079] Fifthly, this application provides an application of the aforementioned adsorbent material for uranium extraction in water. Specifically, the uranium extraction materials of all embodiments of this application can be applied to uranium extraction from seawater or wastewater, enabling the extraction of uranium from natural seawater or from uranium-containing wastewater.
